Post #4807568

My wife has the task of providing a spring activity for my sons pre-k class of about 12 kids. I wanted to ask the members of Dave's Garden for any ideas for a simple yet fun project for some 3 and 4 year olds. I mentioned filling peat pots with potting soil and planting chives. Then take a dixie cup, have them paint faces on them or whatever ends up being drawn, place the peat pot in the dixie(to hold water) and the chives would eventually look like hair. Any suggestions or ideas that might improve. The issue of the kids getting the pots home came up...but my wife told me the mothers will pick the kids up that day...no school bus rides with spilled pots. Maybe the pellets that rise when soaked, they might have less tendency to spill...
Any other ideas????
